Global Bus Error

Sometimes an article is posted in such a style as to be difficult to
understand. While we all know there is one and only one correct
understanding (mine), and no "interpetation" is involved, sometimes
is can be helpful to the novice if we give some hints. Recently an
article was posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips, comp.sys.intel
and other places, which might have seemed off-topic; but this is
merely due to the lack of correct understanding among non-believers.
Herewith you will find an annotated version of the message in question,
which makes more clear its relevance to the group.

The earthquake in Los Angeles, California, the flood in Europe, the
seemingly unstoppable war in the former Yugoslavia, the devastating
fires in Australia, the flood in the Midwest of the United States of
America, the devastating fires near Los Angeles, California, the rapid
and appalling increase in violence in cities, towns, villages all
over the world, the famines, the diseases, the rapid decline of the
family unit, and the destructive earthquake in India (in 1993) are
signs that this world's history is coming to a climax.

Recently there have been reports of vibrations, unstable power supplies,
saturated bandwidths, irresolvable bus conflicts, chip overheating,
increasing voltage spikes on the signal lines, and lack of proper
architectural continuity between processor generations.

The human race has trampled on God's Constitution,

It's all the fault of RISC (Reckless Involvement with Satanic Competitors).
Constant Indoctrination in Suitable Concepts is the only solution.

God's Holy Spirit is gradually withdrawing its protection from the
earth and the devastating events you see are demonstrations of Satan's
power. All those who are not guarded by God are in danger of forever
losing eternal life.

If it doesn't say "Intel Inside" you could be in deep trouble; and if
we continue to lose market share your products might be rapidly obsoleted.

If you want to know what's about to happen, please study the books of
Daniel and Revelation which are located in God's Word, the Bible. They
are not sealed or closed books. They can and must be understood by all.

This is an Open Standard, and compliance is mandatory.

Every word in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is true. The Bible and
the Bible only must be your guide.

The authors assume no liability for typographical or other errors in this
manuscript. Failure to follow the instructions exactly will void your
warranty. Do not acquire literature from any other source [see note at
end, though]; we are "soul sourcing" this one and will persecute infringers.

When God's Law (the Constitution for the Universe) is consistently
ignored, disregarded, changed, and questioned, He permits certain events
to occur to wake us up.

Our low-power units exit from sleep mode with an interrupt when any of a
variety of serious errors occur.

I would urge all, wherever you are and regardless of the circumstances,
to directly call on Jesus and ask Him to intervene in your life.

Our marketing department's 800 number will follow this article - they can
tell you why you must use our chips. (Those who use other chips will
go into our legal department's database for later punitive actions).

For reference I'm including God's Constitution as given in the King James
Version Bible.

An excerpt from the FAQ (version KJV) follows.

Please note that when God says the seventh day, he means Sabbath
(the 7th day of the week) not Sunday (1st day of the week).

All bit and bus cycle numbers in our reference manuals are actually 1-
based rather than 0-based as most users have misconceived them. Those
using 0-based addressing or timing will suffer from the afflictions
mentioned above. Note that untold millions who thought they were true
believers have been caught by this slip-up and will reap eternal perdition
as a result, for breaking a Commandment. Read the fine print! (PS: This
point is not actually in the document KJV, which is to be your only guide,
but I've told you it's true and you will be held accountable!)

Now the Command set, extracted from the KJV FAQ:

Commandment #1: Exodus 20:1-3 (KJV) And God
spake all these words, saying, I am
the LORD thy God, which have brought
thee out of the land of Egypt, out
of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have
no other gods before me.

I have saved you from Zilog and bank switching 64K address bounds; you must
not defect from the Architecture now. But no clones either!

Commandment #2: Exodus 20:4-6 (KJV) Thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them
that love me, and keep my commandments.

Stay out of the multimedia market. Or else.
And keep your microscopes off our copyrighted chips, too!

Commandment #3: Exodus 20:7 (KJV) Thou shalt not take
the name of the LORD thy God in vain;
for the LORD will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Commandment #4: Exodus 20:8-11 (KJV) Remember the sabbath
day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy work: But the
seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD
thy God: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: For in six days the
LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.

You must never exceed a maximum duty cycle of 86%, for the CPU and
all auxilliary chips. If our chips don't work some days, that's a
feature.

Commandment #5: Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Honour thy father and thy
mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

We'll see to it that you don't last long in this industry if you keep
putting down on the 4004 and 8080.

Do not show envy of neighbors with powerful but less expensive
CPUs from other companies, nor of mating coprocessors or chipsets.

Note: this is commandment 10 decimal; we might use 0xA but hex
notation is a satanic conspiracy.

[Omitting a list of 4 books which the author would have us acquire,
study, and use as our guides; none of them are the referenced
document KJV which was to be our only guide, however, so there
may be some confusion about suggested sources of further info. No
doubt these guides would also affirm that KJV is the only guide
and that you should not have bought or sought guidance from them,
and perhaps suggest other not-KJV guides for you to buy to reinforce
this point. Sometimes the lit department gets a tad confused.]

I hope this clarification will avert any hasty miconceptions that
the post in question was off-topic and inappropriate in this
newsgroup. From the archaic language involved, one may infer that
the poster was basing his presentation on an obsolete manual
and has not received any updates for many generations, but of course
the information involved is timeless and always appropriate for repost
in any newsgroup.
